But A64 doesn't give you Internet access on the K2. Seriously, it is a question of marketing and semi-knowledgeable people believing that AMD => hotter.
Screw the internet, on the K2 I want the hottest CPU possible!
Woo; a 5 year old operating system isn't supported anymore. IIRC, Red Hat 6.0 was their state-of-the-art OS in 1998. Does Red Hat still supply supported.rpm packages for RH6.0? No: it's end of life. Has been for a while.
No problem, instaling an update is free. Where can I get my free update for Win98?
In comparison, I can take Wordperfect 6.1, a decade old, install it on Windows Server 2003 and it runs fine.
WP probably ships with all needed libraries. Debian apckages rely on the framework provided around them; there is no need for them to carry around the libs, since there are other packages that provide them.
And I think the weight of evidence is on my side... people download stuff for Windows all the time.
You are absolutely right. I wish I could simply download a package from debian.org and simply run the software on my machine...aah, a man can dream, a man can dream
Oh no, they are using the new gtk file chooser. I really liked the old one, since you could quickly traverse through your directories via keyboard. I know that I can get a textbox to input the path via some key-combination, but I really liked the old open-file-fialog.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic cockroach-like overlords...But of course we could build other robots with big shoes to get rid of the cockroach robots.
I just hope the main cast is back, even if characters, like Jack, are reduced in screentime. SG-1 isn't SG-1 without... SG-1...
In my opionion, SG1 has lost much of its appeal with O'Neill becoming brigadier general. It's just not the same anymore. Stargate-Atlantis has the advantage for bringing fresh new ideas (and a fresh new cast) the the concept of the series
Take a piece of paper and a paper envelope. Write your password onto the piece of paper and put it into the envelope.
This provides the exact same security as a smartcard.
No it doesn't. There is no way of breaking the envelope and retrieving the passphrase. Smartcards (at least the ones I encountered) work by cryptographic challenges (think SSH key auth). The private key is stored on the card, and only/i> on the card. It is also locked by a PIN. Even with the PIN, you cannot retrieve the key: The crypto secret stays completely inside the card, and if your cardreader has got a numeric keypad, the PIN as well won't even leave the combo card/cardreader. The reader I got here for HBCI banking is also sealed by the company to avoid manipulation.
No, it doesn't. If your smart card gets compromised, destroy it and get a new card with a new key. If someone manages to steal your fingerprint, you cannot change the media or key you authenticate with: The person did not only steal a material token that is linked to your identity, an unchangable characteristic that should be uniquely assigned to you now is not referring only to your person, someone literally stole your identity; To the ATM machine, he's not only the one in posession of your ATM card anymore: He is you.
According to this, ESA has a budget of 2700 million. It is paid by its members proportional to their gross national product as some kind of "base funding" and optional donations for specific additional projects.
What is the point of registering for a party if you're going to vote differently?
What's the whole point of registering? This is one of the situations where an ID card comes in handy. The state knows that you exist (yeah, start screaming 'Big Brother!' now), and you get your voting notification indepent from any political parties. That's how it works in germany, the whole US voting stuff seems highly obscure to me.
Microsoft used this strategy several times. Remember their position towards Linux: They more or less ignored it , until they considered it a serious threat for their market share. They then switched to the usual FUD campaigns (TCO stuff etc.). The next phase will feature M$ using Linux for their own purpose.
The same is happening now to Firefox. Once it reaches a signifacant momentum, Microsoft will react and present studies claiming IE to be superior.

My father got me a trackman marble wheel years ago and at first I didn't like it but now I can't stant a real mouse.
Oh yes, the good old Trackman Marble Wheel. I wish I could get another one of those, I totally love it :-)

And when we've used them, there's always Monsters Inc,
So the next version of Debian will be called "Randell" (the cloaking chameleon)? Why? Because you don't see him coming in time either :-)
Debian Sarge cannot be released prior to Toy Story 3: They are running out of names.
So you can use a fingerprint in a secure manner to enhance the security of a smart card. It's better than a PIN.
So when my retina scan or fingerprint is compromised, I can no longer lock a smartcard with it?

From an academic point of view I can quote say Encyclopadia Brittanica article on the charango from the 1995 edition.
You can do such things with Wikipedia as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Slashdo t&oldid=279882
But how will women log in?
Make the variable signed.
The same applies for a smartcard, doesn't it ?
No, it doesn't. If your smart card gets compromised, destroy it and get a new card with a new key.

How much memory does such a smart card have? Around 640k? That shoud be enough for anyone I guess...
I discover Atlantis on a regular basis on a torrent site near me.
I posted this story about a week ago to slashdot, back then only a german website was available. There goes my karma :-

Xaos is also a nice way of looking at fractals. It can also work as Xscreensaver.
So a cow is the farmers client? Because he feeds his animals?

I guess he was talking about free beer, not free speech. Hm, where can I get my beer now? I'm not in the mood for talking anyway...
